the comfort zone challenge

I've been challenged by my life coach, Sandy, to do one thing each day that's out of my comfort zone. That was last Thursday.

Here's how it's going so far:

Friday - got dressed in bathing suit for swimming for the first time in maybe 20 years

pool was closed

Still haven't actually gone swimming, at least partly due to women's hours not working for me

Tremped (hitchhiked) to J-m and engaged driver in conversation
I often sit silently in such situations

Played frisbee with granddaughter
I tend to avoid such activities
tend to not be very physically active
usually interact with grandkids through reading, crafts, board games

Shabbat - tiyul to natural spring
I tend to avoid rocky, steep slopes, which were part of this tiyul
huge fear of falling

Sunday - dance rehearsal for play
I originally signed up for singing, don't consider myself a dancer

Monday - engaged cab driver in conversation
he ended up asking me out
not at all my goal
in fact, may be the reason I often stay quiet
putting up a shield
